i went to my local pick and pull today to get the rest of my r - re swap parts and the motor didnt have a knock sensor or wiring for it. i pulled the entire ecu harness and ecu out myself along with the afm, coil, and distributor. there is nothing left but block and head.. no wires no sensors.

the truck is a 1992 with a w55



side of block



door jamb tag



did they make this one with out a knock sensor?

 

I think 2wd trucks don't have them, but somebody else will know for sure.

 

the hole for a knock sensor on that block obviously never had anything in it. Dunno if the 2wd just didnt come with one or what (odd?) but where one should go, the hole on that block says its not been penetrated in a long time.

 

come to think of it i gave a buddy of mine a knock sensor for his 2wd. It had one and was throwing a code that the knock sensor was well detecting a knock or malfunctioning so to rule it out i gave him an extra i had.

so yea 2wd 22re had a sensor, atleast his did.

 

May be it was carb'd?

 

Its there a way to find that from the door tag.. The truck was complete before I touched it

 

The reason why i say the truck was 2wd is the tire size, on the door tag says 195/75/14.

 

my 86 22re doesnt have a knock sensor, not sure of the reasoning behind it

 

By inputting the VIN, that engine comes up as a 22RE (EFI), not carbed.

it may only be 2wd re's that lose the knock sensor.

here is a pic of the ecu tag and pinset

 

I put a 2wd 93 cab on my frame after totaling my truck and it doesn't have a knock sensor either. I'm getting a really bad pinging sound under a load, cel blinks a few times but never throws a code
